What is the purpose and significance of the Climate Impulse project?

Climate Impulse aims to go beyond just setting a flight record with its hydrogen-powered aircraft. The project's dual purpose is to create a technology demonstrator and transfer this hydrogen propulsion technology to civil aviation with greater passenger capacity. If successful, Climate Impulse could mark a milestone in the pursuit of cleaner, sustainable air travel. With aerospace giant Airbus backing the project, this lightweight, highly efficient aircraft is designed to harness atmospheric energy, with a test flight scheduled for 2026 and a potential global flight in 2028.
